Credits would be on top of the price for the rtd or mvpi should be like 100 dollars for credits. You would have to go to hp tuners website to get the programs they are free. The mvpi will do everything, and the rtd is only for the tuner to do anything with. You wouldn't have to go to the shop they can remote tune.

Which software should I need to do the download, and where can I get the tune file? There seems to have several models of MVPI, which one is needed to program this engine?Īre there credits included with the MVPI, or do I need to buy some credit on top of the MVPI? What's the difference between MVPI and RTD? No idea how much ethanol though.Īs for BNR, ZZP, Trifecta and Vermont tuning, aren't they located in the states? I would prefer to avoid going into a shop for this, I'm looking for something simple that I can apply myself, something 'plug'n-play'. (91 octane)Īnd we have super premium at some location which is 94 octane. We have 'intermediate' which have a maximum of 10% Ethanol (usually around 5%) (89 octane)Īnd we have Premium, which have from 0 to 10% depending of the brand, I specifically choose brands that contains no Ethanol at all. We have regular, which usually have 10% ethanol or more (87 octane) Body module not possible.Īs for tune tune itself, i have the original OEM 100 hp, OEM 150 hp and my old tune with no-cat available so you can directly compare what can be done by yourself. Sadly it's only possible to edit the ECU files, and the transmission files if it's an auto. hpt files for this engine from the forum to check what you can and can't do.

VCM Suite itself is free, so you can download it and try it out with some. You can read the map files from a car without using any credits.

You will also need to have 4 (i think?) universal credits to license your ECU, after that you can reflash as much as you want. HPTuners will do that just fine, only downside is it's a proprietary format and you can only use the VCM Suite programs to edit the ECU file. You could get about 170 hp (at the engine) with a straight reflash or about 180 hp if you remove the cat just by editing the torque management tables and removing some turbo limits. These engines like fuel with as much octane as you can get. I assume this is the port injected one, and not the newer generation direct injected 1.4?

PS : Sorry for my English, I usually speak French. I already own a OBDLink MX+ that I use to monitor my engine with 'Torque' with my cell phone, can it be used to reprogram my ECM and BCM like with AlphaOBD?

Is this a possibility with HP Tuners? If yes, what would I need to do this? Any special hardware or software? If not possible, is the Diablo I3 a good option? I do not intend to visit a tuner, or a dyno guy, and get the most power I can squeeze out of my ride, all I want is a generic 'more power and better fuel economy' preset tune, without the hassle of doing a complete tune myself. I would also really like to be able to tune the BCM for options like when to turn on headlights, and such like you can do with AlfaOBD on a Dodge. What I would like to do is get a generic 'high octane' tune that I could simply push into my ECM, and, if possible, be able to adjust tire size for odometer and fuel economy correction when I use Winter tires. I've been reading up a bit on the website and the forum, and it REALLY seems to be for more advanced user. I was looking at the Diablo I3, which seems really easy to use, but very limited, and of course the HP Tuner option too. I've been going many times in the States, or in Western provinces, as I live in Quebec Canada, and regular fuel is not a problem there at all, but here, the Trax never liked regular fuel, even when it was brand new.Īs I'm already running high octane fuel, I was considering getting a performance chip upgrade. I already use high octane fuel as the regular fuel here is really 'cheap', as in heavily cut with Ethanol (+10%), which my cat really doesn't like at all. I'm looking to find an easy way to tune my 2015 Chevrolet Trax LTZ AWD 1.4L turbo to get a bit more power and better fuel economy.

I'm new around, and I have no idea how to tune, I do not have a dyno, or one readily available.
